Structure and genetic diversity of natural Brazilian pepper populations (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi)
Authors: S.V. ?lvares-Carvalho, J.F. Duarte, T.C. Santos, R.M. Santos, R. Silva-Mann and D. Carvalho
In the face of a possible loss of genetic diversity in plants due the environmental changes, actions to ensure the genetic variability are an urgent necessity. The extraction of Brazilian pepper fruits is a cause of concern because it results in the lack of seeds in soil, hindering its distribution in space and time. It is imp.. Read More»

Selection of reference genes in canine uterine tissues
Authors: M. Du, X. Wang, Y.W. Yue, P.Y. Zhou, W. Yao, X. Li, X.B. Ding,X.F. Liu, H. Guo and W.Z. Ma
Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is usually employed in gene expression studies in veterinary research, including in studies on canine pyometra. Canine pyometra is a common clinical disease in bitches. When using RT-qPCR, internal standards, such as reference genes, are necessary to investigate relati.. Read More»

A systematic review of the intergenerational aspects and the diverse genetic profiles of Huntingtonâ??s disease
Authors: L.A. Agostinho, S.R. dos Santos, R.M.P. Alvarenga and C.L.A. Paiva
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare progressive and fatal neurogenetic degenerative disease, characterized by movement and personality disorders and by progressive dementia. Its prevalence varies by ethnic origin and different genetic profiles predisposing individuals to HD in each population. The prevalence of HD is 5-10 per 100,000 individuals in .. Read More»

Relationship between the G75A polymorphism in the apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) gene and the lipid regulatory effects of pravastatin in patients with hyperlipidemia
Authors: T.N. Liu, C.T. Wu, F. He, W. Yuan, S.X. Li, H.W. Li, H.Y. Yu and M. Wu
In this study, we investigated the relationship between the G75A polymorphism in the apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) gene and the lipid regulatory effect of pravastatin in patients with hyperlipidemia. A total of 179 patients were divided into two groups: the pravastatin (N = 97) and policosanol (N = 82) treatment groups. The total .. Read More»

Analysis of genetic diversity among Chinese wild Vitis species revealed with SSR and SRAP markers
Authors: Z.B. Jing, X.P. Wang and J.M. Cheng
The genetic diversity among 80 Vitis materials including 62 indigenous accessions of 17 wild Vitis species in China and 7 interspecific hybrids, 10 V. vinifera L. cultivars, and 1 V. riparia Michaux were evaluated by simple sequence repeat and sequence-related amplified polymorphism markers. A total of 10 simple sequence repeat primers and 11 sequence-rel.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers of the eastern keelback mullet (Liza affinis)
Authors: L. Liu, T.X. Gao, Z.Q. Han, C.H. Li, D.R. Sun and N. Song
Twenty-four polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for Liza affinis using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 9, with a mean number of 6.250. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.417 to 1.000 and from 0.550 to 0.861, with an average of..

Random regression models for the estimation of genetic and environmental covariance functions for growth traits in Santa Ines sheep
Authors: J.L.R. Sarmento, R.A. Torres, W.H. Sousa, R.N.B. L?´bo,L.G. Albuquerque, P.S. Lopes, N.P.S. Santos and A.B. Bignard
Polynomial functions of different orders were used to model random effects associated with weight of Santa Ines sheep from birth to 196 days. Fixed effects included in the models were contemporary groups, age of ewe at lambing, and fourth-order Legendre polynomials for age to represent the average growth curve. In the random p.. Read More»
